Not As Much Coverage With This CardicanI hoped for more blue in this shade of Malachite and will return it because it is a little too green for me -- and it fits rather closely. It does seem to be well made except that the top two buttonholes are so small that it was quite a chore to unbutton them. Maybe next year Appleseed's and Tog Shop will present us with more sweater options that are not boucle ... so many were this year.

Color 'Celedon' Looks like Dull Willow GreenI was looking forward to this cardigan for spring. The green on the web site looks fresh and bright. What I received was a dull grayish green that looks more like willow. I'm sending it back because it looks dreadful on.

Claret is a beautiful deep warm toned redI just received the Claret in Small. The size seems right on target and the fit very classic - not too snug or too boxy. The pearlized plastic buttons are especially nice as they color match exactly, and add just the tiniest bit of shimmer that compliments the texture without distracting from the overall solid color. The quality, stitching, seams... all look excellent. I noticed this sweater comes up on different pages for the misses/petites and women's sizing and the colors displayed a little differently, especially this claret. I was guessing that the one shown here, where it appears to be more of a deep though brighter pinkish or berry red would be the more accurate depiction. The one I received is definitely not a pinkish red and is a deep warmer toned and slightly rustier red. It's a beautiful shade in its own right and the sweater so scrumptuously soft and pretty and so light in weight for the medium to heavier warmth it'll give that I didn't hesitate one second about keeping it anyway. It looks and feels like a sweet, soft, warm hug.

Attractive, versatile sweater from a familiar nameClassic style, wearable for many occasions. The material is soft and lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The bluebell is a versatile color, too. The sweater's only drawbacks are that it's easy to snag, and it is a bit difficult to get the small buttons through the even smaller buttonholes. I would recommend this sweater for spring to fall wear.

Very soft and comfortable to wear.I bought the turquoise cardigan. I paired it up with a black skirt and blouse. It was just perfect for wearing to church. I bought it on sale and it was a very good buy.

Lovely and so softI'm always looking for a shawl or sweater to use over sleeveless summer dresses in restaurants which are chilly. This is beautiful and so soft, just love it!

Nice SweaterThis is a very lovely light aqua sweater that I am looking forward to wearing with spring/summer outfits. Beautiful color and quality.

Does this start to pill after it's been washed a few times? I usually avoid acrylic ("apillic") for this very reason, but I am sure there can be exceptions, although I haven't found any yet! Thank you! :-)

BEST ANSWER:I don't have a small, but there is one thing I can contribute. With the medium, the sleeves are not too long, as many petite sized sweaters and tops are for me. I also have one in a large, and it is quite a bit longer than the medium. Hope you get the answer you seek!

Does the petite extra large compare closer to a fit w/the misses medium or large?

BEST ANSWER:I have not purchased one of the sweaters which are the basis of this question. However I frequently purchase in the petite category. The basic difference between Miss and Petite is in the length of sleeve (long sleeved garments) and the length of the bodice. The overall fit isn't affected by the category. I expect that Large would be large or Xlarge, Xlarge but just a longer garment in general (if a jacket probably an inch or an inch and a half) or longer sleeves if a Miss.

BEST ANSWER:I wear the sweater with the end of the sleeves cuffed. They do come down to the joints of my wrist. A difference that I see in a petite size is the bulk or fit of the sleeve. It is a bit slimmer.

BEST ANSWER:the customer is asking about polo shirts by leon levy - as to the boucle sweaters - they do not hold up well - I bought 3 last year and all our piling and look very old - I have followed the wash instructions and block them to dry on a towel on my bathroom floor, I am looking for a cotton sweater cardigan in navy to replace my worst offender in my navy boucle.
